A mid-century sci-fi adventure that blends institutional pressure with cosmic discovery, as scientists navigate an alien-filled future while racing against time and funding constraints.

Scientists must prove their time travel experiments can produce results, so their funding won't be cut off. They push their equipment, and travel 5000 years into the future, where they encounter aliens who are looking for a planet to colonize.
